Remember Me 》 Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

Eleven

I grabbed the collar of Newt's jacket before attacking our lips together. I remember. New York. Magic. Him. I can't believe I actually remember. I didn't realize I was pushing him back until his back hit the wall. Newt's hand went up and wiped the tear down my cheek.

"Oh, my god," I cried. "I can't believe it." Then I brought my hand up and slapped him. "That's for standing me up."

Newt slowly rubbed his jaw. "I guess I deserve that one."

I leaned up and kissed him again. "And that's for saving me. From...From...whatever that thing is."

"It's called a Nagual. They're shapeshifters."

I slowly nodded my head. "Right? Because everyone should know that."

"Naguals are suppose to be friendly creatures and transform when needed, but I'm afraid this went went rogue. And for some reason, it's been following you."

"Me? Why?"

"I don't know. That's what I've been trying to find out." Newt kept his gaze on me before he pulled me closer and hugged me. "I missed you."

"I wish I could say the same, but I couldn't remember anything." That made Newt chuckle. I held on to him tighter. "Just...don't do that again. I hate not remembering you."

"Trust me, Alina. That's the last thing I want." When we pulled away he didn't let go. He grabbed my face and began stroking my cheeks. "I love you, Alina."

A small smile came to my face. "You do?"

Newt nodded. "That's why I couldn't let you go."

So, for the rest of the night, Newt and I walked around London. His hand in mine while I leaned against him. It feels so good to be like this, so natural. Just one night, catching up. I mean, us actually catching up. As in, Newt telling me about his book and his creatures. He's almost done with his book. I'm really excited for him.

"If those wizards don't publish your book, then I'm going to torture them until they do," I said.

"You do realize that they have wands and will stop you before you lay a finger on them," Newt chuckled.

I waved him off. "Wand or not, I'll just use my Muggle charm to get them to publish it."

"You know, Pickett's going to be happy when he sees you."

"I know. I miss him, too. Now that I think about it, it's weird not having him climb up my arm." Wait a minute... "Was that Pickett that climbed up my leg the other day?"

Newt's cheeks started turning pink. "Maybe."

I started laughing. "You sure are something, Newt."

"I hope that's a good thing."

"It's a very good thing."

Newt smiled down at me. We kept walking, enjoying the night. "Wait. Our first date. With the fireflies and the water fountain..."

Newt rubbed the back of his neck. "I might have used magic for that."

"That explains everything." We were quiet for a while. "I have to thank Tina for setting this up then. I wonder what would have happened if she didn't drop that ticket."

"You wouldn't be here in danger."

I was about to object to that, but there was a loud scream. I pulled away from Newt as the screams got louder and louder.

"Someone help me!" The voice yelled.

Newt and I ran down the street. We stopped in the alleyway to see this huge bear towering over someone. Newt quickly pulled out his wand and pointed it towards the bear. With a flick of his wrist, this bright light came out. It struck the Nagual.

The Nagual sneered at us. It's bones started to break. I looked around and found a trash lid near the door. I grabbed it and threw it. The Nagual ducked under it was its face started melting off, the head of a wolf taking its place.

Newt whistled. "Hey, over here!"

The Nagual jumped in the air. During midair, its puffy fur came off and a wolf came out of the skin. When it landed, it sneered at us. I grabbed one of the trash bags and threw it. The wolf opened its mouth and caught it. Tossing the bag away. The thing looked at me and growled. We have got to do something or else the person is going to die.

I grabbed Newt's arm. "I got an idea, you might not like it thought."

"What is it?" He whispered.

I didn't tear my gaze away. "You check on the guy, while I -" I spun around "- run!"

I ran out of the alleyway. I heard a small howl before the thing started chasing after me. At least this plan worked. The Nagual is away, for now. I grabbed another trash bin and threw it on the ground before I kept running. It didn't work because the Nagual jumped over the trash and kept running after me. Merlin's beard. Merlin's beard!

I found the ladder to a fire escape. When I turned around, the Nagual was a few yards away from me. Better than nothing. I grabbed the ladder and started climbing up. When I reached the first floor the Nagual was near the ladder. I started pulling on it. Only a few feet before the Nagual jumped again. But it missed the ladder and hit the wall. My breathing came out rapidly as I looked down. That stopped it.

The creature growled at me before its back arched. Its spine started coming out of its back. It howled in pain before slamming its paws on the ground. I furrowed my eyebrows when I see scales coming out. The Nagual stared up, making me jump back. Instead of wolf eyes, they were more reptilian. It hissed as its weird tongue started sticking out. Its back arched again, making this giant lizard-like dog creature take its place. Grey scales, yellow eyes. It could eat a whole cat if it wanted to. The Nagual's hand touched the wall. Then the next, until it was scaling it.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I got up and started running up the stairs. I could hear the slithering behind me as the Nagual jumped from the wall onto the escape ladder. I took another step forward, but I felt something wet and slimy grab my ankle. The Nagual yanked me back, making me bang my knee on the stairs. I would have fallen all the way back, but I held on to one of the poles. I looked down to see the yellow eyes glow. My foot came up before slamming into the Nagual face. It screeched before letting go, enough time for me to pull myself up and started running again.

Don't look back, Alina. Don't look back. I kept running up the stairs until I made it towards the roof. I ran around each corner to see if there was another escape route, but I couldn't find any. Again, Merlin's beard!

There was a hissing sound. I know I shouldn't turn around, but I did. The Nagual was right in front of me. Getting ready to pounce at any moment. It make a noise before it's mouth opened. It reminded me of a those lizards...a bearded dragon, I think. When it hisses at you and the little beard opens up. That's what it reminds me of. Anyway, it hissed at me before it got on it's two feet and ran. It looked like it was going to jump, but a puff of smoke came out of nowhere.

Newt wrapped his arms around me before he poofed us out of there.
